My rating: 7.5/10
Will I watch it again? Yes.
For anyone who didn't see EL MARIACHI (1992) or DESPERADO (1995), OUaTiM starts out with a little introduction to bring you up to speed on who El Mariachi is even though there's little to do with the first two films. It doesn't matter anyway because the story is told by Cheech Marin to Johnny Depp and it's great. What follows is an action thrill ride with lots of laughs and adventure. This might be my favorite of the three because of the cast alone. Hell, I'd recommend seeing it just to see Mickey Rourke walk around with a chihuahua in his arms.
The Columbia DVD presents the film in anamorphic widescreen. The extras you get are six featurettes, a commentary track with Rodriguez, another one about the music and sound design, eight deleted scenes with optional director commentary and eleven trailers (including the one for this picture).
